Egg-beater



UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

URIAH BAKER, OF BROOKLYN, NEW' YORK.

EGG-BEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 30,453, dated October 23, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, URIAH BAKER, of Brooklyn, Kings county, State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanismsfor Beating- Eggs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a fulldescription of the same.

The nature of my invention consists in arranging on one spindle two eggbeaters, and operating them simultaneously in opposite directions, bymeans of independent worms or spiral threads or grooves attached tothem, and an agitatory slide, working longitudinally on the spiralthreads or grooves,

and into which pins or other equivalent devices engage, so as to causethe two beaters to rotate, as the agitatory slide works up and down thespiral threads or grooves.

To describe my invention more particularly I will refer to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this speciication, the sameletters of reference wherever they occur referring to like parts.

Figure l, is a perspective view of the egg beater. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal cut section of the same. Fig. 3 is a detached view of thespindle having attached to it the handle, and the inner egg beater, andspiral to operate it. Fig. 4, is a detached view of the outer beater,and spiral case as seen before.

A, is a spindle, having on its lower' end a loose handle B, so that whenholding the beater, and operating it the spindle mayrotate. Attached tothe low'er half of the spindle is a spiral formed by winding three wiresC, around a case. This case is soldered or otherwise permanently securedto the spindle, which has attached to its upper or outer end a scroll ofwire D, for beating the egg when rotated. E, is a second and independentspiral formed like the first, and having on its outer end a scroll ofwire F, for beating the eggs, by a reversed rotary motion, inconsequence of the pin G, or other equivalent device on the upper end ofthe reciprocating agitatory slide H, engaging into grooves formedby thespiral wires E, while the pin I, or other equivalent device on the lowerend of the slide H, engaging into the spiral C, rotates the scroll D, ina direct rotatory motion. By this compound action the two scrolls cutand beat the egg to pieces with great rapidity.

In constructing the mechanism I first attach to the spindle the lowerspiral C, as a permanent fixture to. the spindle. Having done this Inext make the spiral E, and scroll attachment F, and slide it down uponthe spindle and upon which it rotates. A shoulder j, is now formed onthe spindle A, to prevent the withdrawal of the spiral E, and between orinside of the scroll F, is formed the inner scroll D, by soldering themto the spindle, just above the shoulder On the spirals I neXt apply thereciprocating agitatory slide H, by putting it on from the lower end ofthe spindle. The pins Gr, and I, are then inserted to engage into thespiralsafter which the handle B, is attached and the whole mechanismcompleted.

Having now described my invention and its mode of construction, I willproceed to set forth what I claim, and desire to secure by LettersPatent of the United States.

The use of the two independent spirals C, and E, in combination with thespindle A, and reciprocating agitatory slide H, having attached to itsend pins, or other equivalent deviccs, for rotating the egg beaterssimultaneously in opposite directions as hereinbefore described.

URIAH BAKER.
